The New York Jets have announced the team will honor retired LBs Mo Lewis and Marvin Jones during halftime of the Jets' home opener on Sept. 18, against the Miami Dolphins. Both players spent their entire NFL careers with the Jets before retiring on June 27. "It's rare today to have a player spend his entire career with one team, and in this instance, the Jets have two and it's a tribute to both gentlemen," said Jets general manager Terry Bradway.

Updating a previous report, according to NewYorkJets.com, LB Mo Lewis, who recently signed a contract with the New York Jets so he can officially retire as a Jet, played in 200 regular season games, which places him sixth on the franchise's all-time most career games played list. In addition, Lewis ranks fourth in team history in sacks (52.5) and second in tackles (1,370).

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the New York Jets have a $4.48 million salary cap charge this season due to the contract of former LB Mo Lewis. In total, the team has $11.01 million in "dead money" assigned to players no longer with the team this season.

Updating previous reports, the Star-Ledger reports New York Jets LB Mo Lewis is due a $2 million roster bonus in March and it is anticipated the team will release him. His release would clear $900,000 off the salary cap.
